I believe that this may be a bug. I hope that this is the proper way of
opening a new one.
I've poured over the documentation and asked the mailing list gods for
help, and this basic feature still does not work. Here's the use case:
I have tried this on both Windows and Linux. I'm certain that my
`vimrc` is being read.
Here's what I have in my `vimrc` file:
set backup
set backupskip="$HOME/gtd/wiki/*" # tried both with and without
# quotes
And here's how you too can recreate the bug:
1. I opened my $HOME/gtd/wiki directory within Vim using netrw.
2. I deleted the FrontPage~ doc using netrw
3. I then opened my FrontPage doc, edited it and saved it.
4. I then opened my $HOME/gtd/wiki directory again within Vim using netrw.
Unfortunately, the FrontPage~ doc was created again. I have the potwiki
plugin installed, but I also tested this without any extra plugins and got
the same result.
Thanks!
